Overall, I really like this dishwasher. It runs relatively quietly. You have to rinse your dishes pretty well before placing them in the dishwasher, or they will still have food residue on them after being run through the dishwasher. I have experienced a bit of problem with the dishwasher having an odor in the dishwasher that I cannot seem to eliminate.

Noise LevelThis dishwasher is relatively quiet. However, at times, it makes a lot of noise.

Cleaning TimeA normal cycle on this dishwasher takes about two hours to run. I would consider this time to be about average.

Loading FlexibilityThe dishwasher is fairly flexible as to the types of dishes it will accommodate, especially on the top rack of the dishwasher.

PerformanceThis dishwasher does a great job of cleaning dishes that have been pre-rinsed well. However, it does a fairly poor job of cleaning dishes that have not been pre-rinsed very well prior to being placed in the dishwasher.

I love the way this dishwasher cleans and how quiet it is. That being said, I wish the flatware tray was a better design and that the bottom was tray was slotted in such a fashion as to only hold dinner plates, and salad plates. The rows are so narrow I can't fit a large bowl.

Noise LevelI sometimes have difficulty knowing if I turned it on properly because it is sooo quiet! Especially when it first starts. You can hear it a bit during the rinse cycle, but just barely.

Cleaning TimeIt runs on a "normal" cleaning cycle for 2 hours. Of course it is an energy saver.

Loading FlexibilityI know all of the new dishwashers are like this however, I still don't like this feature....The door opens so low and you wind up pulling the bottom tray out and bending over at an uncomfortable angle. If you have a dinner party it is back braking!

PerformanceCleans beautifully!

DesignThere is a lot of room to pile in dishes, cups, glasses, mugs, soup bowls, but not any serving dishes or large serving bowls. The grooves in the tray do not support anything that big.Also, a feature of the dishwasher that could have been approved upon is the flatware tray. It has three sections. The center of which I find basically useless because it has a non-removable slotted cover over it. If that weren't enough, the handle of the tray blocks its use as well.

I am very satisfied with this dishwasher. It is easy to load and I love that I can raise the upper rack if I need to put large items below (like my stock pot). I am a relatively lazy pre-rinser and the dishwasher does a great job with getting off food (even stuck on food). When I have a very heavily soiled load I put the dishwasher on "power scrub" and my dishes always come out clean. Like any dishwasher, if you don't like to pre-rinse you need to clean the filter more regularly. My favorite part about this dishwasher is its noise level. My house has an open floor plan so quiet appliances are a must. It sounds ridiculous, but sometimes I have a hard time knowing if the dishwasher is on! Overall, I have no complaints about this appliance.
